The Best Wedding Shoes, From Heels to Sneakers

For $39, these sleek, stylish, ankle strap heels can’t be beat. There’s a smooth, single-toe strap and a dainty ankle strap secured by a gold buckle. A rubber sole and a block heel make these a great choice for those who feel a bit unbalanced on spiked heels. A cushioned insole makes them comfortable throughout a wedding and reception—and easy to dance in.

These platinum ice dusty-glitter pointy-toe flats are the epitome of comfort, style, and grace in a delicate, clean silhouette—perfect for your inner ballerina. If you’re the bride or a member of the wedding party, these shoes will ensure you’re able to stay on your feet all day (or night) if needed. Even better? Long after your wedding, you’ll have plenty of reasons to wear them. These glittery shoes can even dress up a pair of jeans and a white t-shirt.

When you want to pull out all the stops (and why not?), turn to these elegant and glamorous, open-toe sandals from Jimmy Choo. Vintage-inspired, and made with satin and encrusted with pearls (with one logo-engraved large pearl in the center), these heels will stand out in any situation. Like all Jimmy Choo shoes, these are incredibly comfortable. They do run small, so be sure to size up a half size.

Another shoe for those who aren’t a fan of heels, or who just want to make sure they can dance and stand and mingle through an entire ceremony and reception without worrying about foot pain. Adorned with a beautiful array of crystals that catch the light, your feet will literally sparkle in these. We also love the scallop-shaped edge around the heel. Be aware that the very pointy toe could mean you need to size up.

Louboutin shoes are something you invest in when you want to make a statement. Every pair of Louboutins has a red-lacquered bottom and these crystal- encrusted stilettos are no exception. Delicate and strappy with a round, open toe, they convey and promote confidence and grace. Louboutins run small and narrow, so consider sizing up.

With a hand-sewn illusion net upper and delicate ivory lace, Bella Belle’s cross strap pumps are one of the more feminine and romantic pairs of shoes on our list. They have a pointy toe to elongate the legs and a tied bow at the heel for a secure fit. The 12-hour padding on the insole means they’re also super comfortable.

Like the other pair of Bella Belle shoes on this list, these have heavy padding on the insole for all-day comfort. They are a perfect mid-heel height with a closed toe and an elegant slingback. The combination of mesh, dainty beaded flowers, and fluffy bows work together to create a stunning shoe that compliments a variety of dresses. The tulle bow at the heel is removable.

Kate Spade shoes receive high points when it comes to classic style and these satin bow shoes are no exception. The luxe satin bow is beautiful and tasteful with just the right amount of sweetness without coming off too “girly.” Quality-wise, these shoes are lined with 100% kid leather, which can stretch to fit your foot while adding a luxurious softness. These tend to run a half size big, so size down for a proper fit.

We know these aren’t white, but the subtle gold is the perfect accessory to add a bit of glam—especially if you’re wearing gold jewelry. The block heels are sturdy, on-trend, and probably your only choice for a heel that can work at the beach (though we wish they weren’t all-plastic). We love the 1970s vintage feel though, and they’re a versatile shoe for day to evening affairs. This style runs a bit narrow so if you have a wider foot, they may not work for you.

The Ryder Platform sandal is a sleek, minimalist, high- impact style that’s easy and comfortable to wear. Open-toed with an exposed back, they’re secured with a delicate ankle strap and buckle. The block heel and platform give you all the height you could want, while also offering more stability than a typical stiletto. From personal experience, I can attest that Stuart Weitzman platforms are super comfortable through hours of dancing and celebrating.

If you’re a sneaker person, there’s nothing that says you can’t wear a pair to your wedding. In fact, many people are going the clean, white athletic shoe route for formal occasions. The Nike Air Force 1 ’07 in white leather is both classic and timelessly stylish. These are low-cut sneakers with perforated holes on the toe box and a thick, sturdy sole.
